Lexington council approves two U-Haul outdoor-storage permits with container restrictions
Summary
The Lexington City Council approved conditional-use permits for U-Haul outdoor storage at 110 E. River Road (Mike and Mary Wieneke) and 209 N. Taft Street (McKinna Moats), with both applicants agreeing to permit conditions that include restrictions on locating storage containers on site.
The Lexington City Council on Jan. 27 approved two conditional-use permits to allow outdoor storage for U-Haul business operations, placing specific restrictions on locating storage containers at both sites.
At a public hearing the council approved an application by Mike and Mary Wieneke to operate a U-Haul business at 110 E. River Road. According to the minutes, the applicants agreed to the conditions of the permit, including a restriction prohibiting storage containers on the property. Mayor John Fagot closed the hearing after there were no other public comments; Councilmember John Salem moved to approve and Councilmember Jeremy Roberts seconded. The motion passed by unanimous roll call.
The council also held a public hearing on a conditional-use permit application by McKinna Moats for outdoor storage tied to a U-Haul business at 209 N. Taft Street. City Clerk Bill Brecks noted the property is in a commercial district and is therefore subject to more stringent regulations. The applicant agreed to the conditions offered by staff, including the restriction on placing storage containers on the site. Councilmember Jeremy Roberts moved to approve the permit; Dora Vivas seconded and the council voted unanimously to authorize execution of an agreement.
The minutes do not provide further operational detail such as the number of trucks or exact layout; council approval authorized staff to execute the permit agreements under the conditions discussed at the hearing.
